Holyfield Vs Botha? What has the HW division come to?

[DaxxKahn]

Why? -because he can!

He needs the cash, supposodly 80,000 people are waiting to go watch it at the arena and prob 5 times that on PPV. The people obviously want it (not all, but enough to make it worthwhile)

Plus Holyfield obviously thinks he's still got it, judging by his performance against Valuev where he did as much as Haye, but didn't get the win, he clearly has enough in the tank to be mixing with the poor quality heavyweights around at the minute.

Fair play to the guy, still going after all these years, I'll be happy if I reach his age and I've got the conditioning to go 12 rounds with anyone, let alone a pro fighter, let alone a world title holder (be it mickey mouse or not)

That's a good post. Hard to argue againsed that as a fan who thinks he should have hung them up quite some time ago.

I thought the Valuev performance was perfect to retire on.......should he have got the nod (which I think he deserved 100%) and I think he might have just considered stopping. Who knows. Good post though.

I have to disagree about this fight....While I do agree about the state of the HW division and the entertainment value of its fights these days..

Does anyone give a shit Holyfield is barely even understandable when he speaks? Does he really need another fight (Outside of money troubles)

Holyfield was the last heavy I would have thought would have to fight because he needs money. At least it is not against someone that could hurt him.

Lets hope Holyfield wins and we can have Holyfield V Tyson III

The fight was actually postponed a month due to poor ticket sales not enough to even cover the venue

I agree, the only heavyweight bout worth watching at the moment. And thats only because both these over the hill "boxers" hate each other so much. Id watch it anyway

Mate I was joking.... Holyfield is an accident waiting to happen in the ring and Tyson is shot to pieces.

These guys should learn from Lennox Lewis - get out and stay out.
